BC Day 19 - My Favorite Movie(s)

Blogger Challenge - Day 19 - My Favorite Movie

They phrase this challenge in a way that indicates I will only have one favorite movie.  Are they crazy?  I am a child of the 80s. I have LOTS of favorite movies!!

First, and foremost, here is my ultimate, very favorite movie. Don't judge me. This is my own blog, remember? 

Grease 2

Following as a close 2nd...

The Breakfast Club 

And 3rd would definitely be...

Gone With The Wind

Oh man, I just love me some Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara! I wish they were real people and that I had known them back then.

And I just can't forget this one (remember, this is my blog... don't judge me):

Rhinestone

Yes, this truly is a horrible acting movie. 

But oh my gosh. It is so funny. Hysterical!

Several more on my list of favorites are:

Grease

St. Elmo's Fire 

Pretty Woman (Classic... just classic)

Footloose (The original, but I really did love the re-make too) 

and

16 Candles

Now, don't get me wrong. I have several more recent favorites as well. I just love...

Titanic

Pirates of the Caribbean (All of them. I can't help myself.) 

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 

(This is probably my favorite of this decade)

Star Wars... Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

(But I do have a weird attachment to Return of the Jedi the most) 

X-Men (Awesome!)

The Holiday

and

Hitch

Okay. I'm going to stop now. I could go on and on, and I know I am missing some truly great ones that I just can't think of right now.

What are your favorites?

BC Day 18 - Pictures of Me

Blogger Challenge - Day 18 - Pictures of Me

Terrific. Just what I wanted was to have to post pictures of myself. Lol. I really hate to have my picture taken!! 

Ugh.  As much as I really hated the "What's in your fridge" day, and was definitely not a fan of the "3 Healthy Habits" day, I dislike this one the most.

But, it's all about the challenge, so here goes...

Sorry for Sandy overload! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better challenge. I try not to look ahead so it will be a surprise for me. Every day, I can hardly wait to see what it is. Maybe tomorrow will be "Pictures of your pet" day!! Lol

BC Day 16 - My Thoughts On Education

Blogger Challenge - Day 16 

My Thoughts on Education

Oh friends. I have so many thoughts on education. So many. 

For the highlights:

1.  Thank The Lord that Common Core has been repealed here in          Oklahoma.

2.  Janet Baressi has got to go. Sooner, rather than later. Please vote      for Joy Hofmeister. Please.

3.  State testing standards are absolutely ridiculous. 

4.  Schools need more money. Period.

5.  There are terrific teachers out there.  I know this to be a fact.            We are so blessed at Ripley.

6.  Every school in Oklahoma, and anywhere else in Tornado Alley,      should have a safe room big enough for all their students and            faculty.

7.  If Michelle Obama's children had to eat the foods that her                Childhood Nutrition Act makes all the public school kids eat            (restricting the schools in what they can cook/serve), her girls          would go on a hunger strike until the Act was repealed.

Enough said. You can thank me now for stopping. I have lots more to say!

BC Day 15 - Where Will You Be In 5 Years?

Blogger Challenge - Day 15 - Where will I be in 5 years??

Five years... wow. Who really knows? 

One thing I can say for sure... if I'm alive, I will be 48. Forty-Eight!!! Oh. My. Gosh. I absolutely cannot even imagine being 48 years old. I was just 20!

All that being said...

I can tell you where I hope to be in five years...

I hope to be more financially stable.

I hope to see my kids being responsible, happy adults.

I hope to be secure and confident in my job.

I hope to still be on the road to Heaven.

I hope to be healthy.

I hope I love salads more than chocolate.

I hope to be skinny.

I hope all of my relatives are healthy, happy and successful.

I hope I don't lose anyone else close to me.

And most of all...

I hope to be happy. No, happiness is a state of being that you choose. So, I will be happy!

BC Day 14 - Three Healthy Habits

Blogger Challenge - Day 14 

Three Healthy Habits

Well, I am behind. Waaayyyy behind. I missed day 14 and 15! Yikes! Well, life gets in the way sometimes. I am posting three today to catch up. (I can feel your joy now. Lol)

Three Healthy Habits. I'm assuming they are asking about 3 healthy habits that I actually have, right? Haha! Hmm...

Well, I can honestly say that #1 would be exercise. I know, I know. That is a dirty word. But, in the past 45 days or so, I have discovered that exercise comes in many shapes and forms, and different intensities too. You don't have to just kill yourself to work out. Any movement is better than none. So, that is my #1... Movement.

#2. I guess my number two would be... less pop. Haha! I know, I'm terrible. It should be no pop, but that is never, ever going to happen. So, I've been trying to drink less Diet Dr. Pepper. 

#3. For number three, I'm going to use a mental health habit I have. Or am working on. Lol. I am trying to be less OCD. I know being organized is a good thing, but when you are obsessed about how your ink pen is laying on your desk, or how straight your desk calendar is, well that is a different story. I don't want to be known as "that girl". LOL

BC Day 13 - What’s Inside Your Fridge?

Blogger Challenge - Day 13 - What's inside your fridge?

Hot Sauce & Jalepeno Peppers (for my sister)
